| dc.description | <i>Pratylenchus goodeyi</i> is a recognized pest of bananas and plantains in African highland regions. To evaluate the crop host status of <i>P. goodeyi</i> in the Cameroon Highlands, a field experiment was conducted in a field previously cropped with banana, using 12 crops planted in a randomized design with four replicates. The site was at Mbouroukou near Melong at 1200 m above sea level on volcanic soils. Banana was the susceptible reference crop. Sampling of roots and rhizosphere soil was undertaken at 4 months after planting. A non-parametric ANOVA revealed significant differences in <i>P. goodeyi</i> root population densities among the treatments (crops). Crops were classified as good hosts of <i>P. goodeyi </i>when their mean root densities were statistically similar to banana. When mean <i>P. goodeyi</i> root densities were significantly lower than banana but higher than 1000 100 g-1 FRW, crops were classified as intermediate hosts. Crops with a mean <i>P. goodeyi</i> root density significantly lower than banana and lower than 1000 nematodes 100 g-1 FRW were classified either as poor hosts (>20 P. goodeyi 100 g-1 FRW) or very poor hosts (≤20 <i>P. goodeyi</i> 100 g-1 FRW). Beans and maize (cv. CMS 8704) were good hosts of <i>P. goodeyi</i>; watermelon and onion were intermediate hosts; maize (cv. Kasaiuml), taro, okra, Irish potato and sweet potato were poor hosts, while cocoyam and tomato were very poor hosts.</p></pre> | |
